Obiettivo

In the next years, electronic commerce will affect the entire social life: the major technical challenge is to develop greatly increased communication capacities, and a recognized key bottle neck is the electronics thermal management. EU is yet depending on the US, and the aim is to solve the problem of the need of an entirely new thermal management system of increased performance on the basis of phase-pure nanocrystalline diamond. In the same time the demands for low weight and high performance component for automotive and aerospace applications requires the massive applications of new difficult-to-cut lightweight materials as MMC, Al-Si hypereutectic alloys and Ti. The materials developed inside this project can solve definitively their machinability costs. This will sustain EU employment and economical, ecological and increased safety vehicles and aircraft.
